Growth during a recession is the best way to become a stronger institution after said recession, and that's how UL is positioning itself.

Our student housing is booming, with all of the new on-campus housing construction in its final phases. Parking towers are springing up, massive student union renovation is about to take place. RCAF contributions are reaching an all-time high. UL's partnering with LSU for a Medical School in 2013 at the old Our Lady of Lourde's Hospital on campus is looking like a fine joint venture.

Our baseball field renovation is about to begin - a fitting upgrade for a program that draws crowds that place it within the top 20 in the nation in attendance. Followed by Track and Field and Cajun Field upgrades.

Nice attempt at troll bait, but things are looking wondrous over here at UL and our coffers are still looking nice.

This cut is not $1M towards athletics, get your facts straight. This will result in a reduction of about $150k in the athletic department. Also it is up to the university itself whether or not to apply it to academics. Why don't you worry about pulling your own head out of your ass. All you do is come on this site and whack the hornets nest when it comes to Louisiana, ULM and even La Tech even though they have no bearing on this forums.
